MISCELLANY.


It was a lowly cottage, yet enrobed
With godgreen vines and roses royalrcd,
So close the kcenest sunbeam hardly probed
It's chambers dim, with many cobwcbs spread.
Ancient 1t seemed, though loved by Natures
young
Her evanescent. ever.nascent things
Bright birds and brighter butterflies, that flung
Prsmatic spendor from their sumptuous wings.
In the quaint court the opulcnt orange trees,
With bud and bloom with frutage green and
gold
Commingling, from the woolng Of the breeze
Turned coyly, AZ rich DANES from suitors bold.
oh! lovely is that land. on which the sky
Leans like a lover; where the golden hours
Leave delicious music as they fly
While night but deepens the perfume OF flowers.
And in that land Of love, a man might well,
In passing fancy that some maiden sweet
Must in that lowly cottage surely dwell,
So shyly hidden from the staring street.
But one day fromthe cool shades came a cry.
Keen as a woman's at her flrst-bOrn' birth;
A pteous. long drawn wall Of agony,
That chilled the passers-by, and stilled their
mirth.
Aud 70 they entered with expectant thrill
For something strange; and, on a snowwhte
bed.
They found a woman lying stark and still
poor old negro woman cold and dead.
The large, white curtains luttered in the breeze
Like Tapping sail upon the bowv deep
Aud "A Gagged bird, on high, sang little glres,
As II to coax It's mistress from her sleep.
But. prsoned in her arms her masters son,
fair white child, she held with clasp so strong
That to unlOose him il took more than one
or the stout men among that wondering throng
Yet still he chung to her, with sobs and tears
Calling her "bOnne maman;' and It Is said
That stern men wept, who had not wept for years
Thus to behold the living love the dead
Now to some hearts the meaning Of all this
May only be the pathOs Of mans wild
Attempt to bridge the infinite abyss
With love as feeble as a little child
Yet to my soul, a butterfly Of dreams
And fowery thoughts with morning radiance
rife,
As in this picture so forever seems
Death-lke fond, black nurse embracing Life

A Remarkable Balloon Ascension.
From the New York Herald. ]

lfIhlll tllt new 1 hIh ntIhlusl
A remarkable balloon ascension was
made at Paris last Saturday by the aero
nauts Captain Paul Jovis and NJ. Mallet, in
the celebrated airship Horia, The aero
nauts started from La Yillette gas works,
Paris, at a quarter past seven A. NJ, and,
after rising to the altitude of seven thou
sand metres, or nearly twenty-three thou
sand feet, subsequently descended in Bel
gium,
This is an extraordinary altitude to reach,
and will compare not very unfavorably with
the highest levels ever reached by aero
nauts. On September o. 1862, Messrs,
Glaisher and CoXwell made their famous as
cent from Wolverhampton, England, in
which the greatest height known to have
been ever attained by man was accom-
plished, The maximum elevation was not
exactly observed, because the aeronauts
were insensible. But when the last observa
ton was taken the balloon was twenty nine
thousand feet above the sea, and was then
ascending at the rate of one thousand feet
per minute. Thirteen minutes later, wher
Mr.. Glaisher was able 10 resume observa
tions, the balloon was descending very rap

John s,arL and nj. Heroe. of ~.

From Hon. John W Stewards Grafton at the lay
ing Of the Battle Monument corner-stone.l
They were no carpet knights nor plumed
cavaliers, playing fantastic tricks Of knight
errantry. They were grim fighters and
they fought in their everyday clothes but
as they stood on that long summer day in
deadly conflict with the hirelings of half
demented king, who madly flung away the
brightest jewel in his crown, every brave
heart beneath the yeomans jacket beat
with the loftiest inspiration of II courage
born of faith in God and in his eternal
principles of justice and in deathess devo-
ton to country. Every patriot bullet was
winged and instinct with this inspiration.
While love of country famed in their
hearts, that word country meant far more
to them than it did to the Greeks of Mara
thon, To them country stood for the peo-
pie, secure in all natural rights and all the
social and civil free institutions essential to
their preservation. They scorned kingly
and priestly and lordly and every form of
class privilege and perogative. They were
living epistles of a new fate. They were
yeomen, they were warriors, they were
statesman. They were fit founders of Il
new system of government, so well epito
mized by the immortal Lincoln as a "gov-
ernment of the people, for the people, by
tine people, In this faith they lived and
for its triumphant establishment they fought
and conquered on yonder hillside. The
honor of their grand achievement is the
glorious inheritance of the three New Eng
land states represented here today from
whose valleys and hillsdes their patriotic
sons, leaving wife and child and quiet home
and peaceful pursuits, so swiftly rallied at
the call of country. The fruits of their
victory are the common heritage of the
whole country for all time to come. Their
heroic example is for all mankind. The
law of the conservation Of force prevails
in the moral as in the physical world,
Nothing is lost. The heroic life or heroic
death in a just cause, though apparently
hopeless, will sometimes bear rich harvest
in reconversion into successful heroic action
inspired by example. Such was the event
and such the character of the actors there
| in, in reverent memory of which we are

met on this anniversary day to perform
this initial ceremony. We begin now the
erection Of a majestic and enduring memo
rial which shall in some degree symbolic
our conception of an event so fraught with
great results, and wrought, too, by an an
cestry whose heroic character and achieve
ment must forever challenge our admira-
ton and gratitude.
Let it rise majestic here, girt by these
grand mountains, commanding views Of
unmatched natural beauty and overlooking
graves Of the heroic dead And so may it
stand, mute but eloquent witness and me
mortal to all coming generations of the bat
tie of Bennington and the valor and virtue
of the men who crowned the day, whose
anniversary we celebrate, with glorious

The Rule Of the Gin will.

From the Springfield Republican
The appeal Of the state anti-saloon Re
publcans in behalf of the party as the nat
ural home of the temperance voter has the
facts on its side, as well as a weighty ar
ray Of signatures. Senators Dawes and
Hoar, Congressman Long President Capen
Tufts, Dr. Dorchester and DR. Hale and the
rest do not overdraw the contrast in the
relations of :he parties to the rum interest
the votes they cite from the legislative
record only illustrate the notorious truth
They do no more than justice either, to the
position Of the prohibitory party, so far as
the facts are concerned. Some valuable
legislation was secured last year, and to
curb the saloon power every effort is need
ed to keep its friends out Of places of trust,
and particularly out of the lawmaking

ANECDOTES OF THAD STEvENs.-When
Keitt, of South Carolina, was once eulogiz-
ing the institution of slavery, and talking
about pious Deacon on his own plantation,
Thad Stevens grimly inquired what the
price of Deacons was in the Orangeburg
district, and whether a negro would bring
any more on the auction block because he
was a Deacon When the invading rebels
burned his foundry near Gettysburg during
their raid into Pennsylvania he expressed
regret that Lee did not order the burning
of his liabilities at the same time. And the
ruling passion was strong in death, for

A strange life is that of Lieut.. j. n.
Coffin, now living on board his sloOp at
Hallowell, Me. Lieut.. Coffin was born in
Portsmouth, y. H., in 1926, graduated
from the high school of that place, and
went 10 California. where he studied law.
He was a sergeant in the war with Mexico,
at the end Of which he shipped before the
mast on French whaler and was wrecked
in Mazatlan harbor by tornado. He next
enlisted in the Thirteenth New Hampshire
regiment, and while stationed near the
Portsmouth (Va) navy yard a stray shot
grazed the top Of his head, having most
peculiar effect upon his memory, as for
nine years he lived as one in a dream. Hav-
ing learned the carpenters trade when n
boy he could now work at this in sort Of
mechanical way. In this capacity he sail
ed on board the Polaris for the arctic re
gions in 1870 This vessel they were obliged
to abandon, and prepared to pass the win
ter in those freezing zones. Lieut.. Coffin
had for many years been subject to severe
headaches, and during one of these, by a
misstep, he fell into the chilling water when
the thermometer registered 90 below zero.
With the help Of his companions he was
rescued and went 10 sleep. How long he
slept he did not know, but on awaking his
memory had returned and his first words
were, Where is my regiment Where is
the Thirteenth New Hampshire Am | Il
prisoner r. 1t was some time before he re-
allied his position, from which he was res
cued many months later He first went 10
the Togus National Home, but soon tiring
of IA life Of inactivity, he now makes his
home on board his slOop.- Boston Globe.
